The Rinehart Solar Farm project, located in Lake Mary, Fla., will have a total capacity of 10 megawatts (MW) and an annual generation of approximately 15,000,000 kilowatt-hours. This is equivalent to the annual energy use of roughly 1,100 area homes. It will cover a portion of the 380,000 square foot rooftop space and surrounding acreage of BlueChip Energy’s Lake Mary facility.
BlueChip Energy has announced it has started stage one of the Rinehart Solar Farm, a 10 MW utility-scale solar PV fa... [more]
There is currently a golden window of opportunity in which consumers purchasing renewable energy systems can benefit from both capital grants for the purchase of equipment, and additional incentive payments for every unit of heat or electricity produced.
This ‘double-whammy’ will be short lived as the current grant system towards the purchase of systems will be phased out and replaced by a pay per unit system. From April 2010, the government strategy of ‘Feed-In tariffs’, and from April 2011 ... [more]
Members of America’s wind power industry have laid out a compelling case to strengthen the proposed Congressional renewable electricity standard (RES) in order to protect American jobs and maintain America’s leadership status in the increasingly competitive global wind power industry.
Testifying before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, G.E. Vice Chair and Energy Infrastructure President and CEO John Krenicki called for any federal RES passed this year to be significantly stro... [more]
Executives from the renewable energy industry met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and told the leaders that current RES provisions will not result in renewable energy deployment or new clean energy jobs in the near term. The U.S. will fall behind other countries, and jobs that would otherwise be created in the United States will move elsewhere.
Representatives of the renewable energy industry called on Congress to strengthen national renewable electricity... [more]
Renewable energy credits, also called "green tags", are tradable environmental commodities issued by an appropriate oversight entity to represent a set amount of energy produced (typically 1,000 kilowatt hours) from renewable natural resources, such as solar, wind and biomass.
Phoenix Partners Group has introduced an electronic trading platform for renewable energy credits, the first of its kind within the environmental brokerage community.
The web-based platform provides a real-time foru... [more]
According to a new report from Pike Research, global system revenues for sub-utility scale Renewable Distributed Energy Generation (RDEG) grew at a breakneck pace between 2007 and 2008, rising 76% to an estimated $29.9 billion at the end of 2008. The cleantech market research firm forecasts that the RDEG market will continue strong growth in the coming years, more than doubling in value to $60.6 billion by 2013.
“Renewable distributed energy generation is a sector dominated by small solar ene... [more]
